This is really good

THE ILLUMINATED ROOM


The Illuminated Room is a series of monthly screenings exploring the moving-image as an open-ended art form and critical practice. Each programme positions the work of contemporary film and video artists alongside key works from the rich and often overlooked histories of experimental cinema. An opportunity to experience how artists have worked with, and thought about, film and video.

Now a common convention in video installations, the roots of double and multi screen projection works lay in the expanded cinema of the 1960’s and 70’s. This programme offers a rare chance to see an entire programme of double-screen 16mm films projected live and in their native format. Including experimental works that emerged from the London Filmmakers Cooperative in the 1970’s by Sally Potter, William Raban and David Parsons. As well as a recent exquisite corpse collaboration between Michael Snow and Carl Brown, in which their independently made films are brought together in the moment of projection.

As this is in college you should make an effort to go.
